Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.6% of votes; the other 1 candidate 10.1% between them.

    (13,639 + 10,662) ÷ 27,734 = 87.6% · 2,800 ÷ 27,734 = 10.1%

  2. Turnout of 35.2% was 6.6 pp below the state's median seat (41.8%).

    35.2 − 41.8 = −6.6

  3. The margin narrowed from 41.0 pp in 1974 to 10.7 pp.

    10.7 − 41.0 = −30.3 pp

  4. Kuanria Majhi, the 1974 winner, finished second in 1977.

    1974 winner name = 1977 runner-up name
